http://yachtclubgames.com/2018/04/two-million-copies-of-shovel-knight-sold/ They have graphs and sales breakdowns inside.
Literal proof that a DRM free game (on several platforms) can sell real real well.
More than half of its sales are on Nintendo consoles. Shovel Knight for Smash
It is very nice to see how much success they have had. Shovel Knight is such a charming game. I hope they make a follow up sometime down the line.
Still just 20% off? It's a 2014 game and the cheapest it can get is $20 since they changed the pricing model. I wish they would've released the campaigns as separate games instead of inflating the original game and price.
Well deserved, it's right up there with Cave Story as a stellar example of what retro-indie games can be.
I still wish Propellor Knight had a DLC.
absolutely deserves it. also god it blows my mind even more that it took an indie game as popular as Shovel Knight nearly 4 years to do what Cuphead did in a little over 3 months, even with a constant release of DLC's to keep it in the spotlight.
Just 8.7% completion !!! It is ridiculous and a shame people impulsively buy so many games now days and never finish them.
I mean, if you showed a random person a screenshot from both games and asked them which one looks more interesting, I'd wager Cuphead would win every time. I love Shovel Knight, but the market was already overflowing with pixel based platformers, so they had a disadvantage going in from the beginning.
